The gameplay is characterized by its entertaining mechanics, diverse content, and stunning visuals, drawing comparisons to titles like Vampire Survivors. While it offers deep customization and a well-balanced difficulty curve, some players find it too easy and repetitive, particularly in the later stages of runs. Overall, the game stands out in the roguelike genre for its engaging systems and variety, though it may lack meaningful differentiation among characters and can feel tedious at times.
“The gameplay is deep; maybe a bit too easy, but still it's fun.”
“This game, developed by a dedicated team of developers, stands out in the crowded roguelike genre with its system variety and engaging gameplay.”
“Its variety of meta-progression systems, numerous synergies, challenging gameplay, and beautiful art and sound design make it a must-play for fans of the genre.”
“What's the point of unlocking stuff for your next runs when you can already finish the game + DLC at your first try with the first and only available character (which is supposed to be weaker than the other ones) by playing absolutely casually without even paying attention to what skills you're choosing and being able to idle after about 5 minutes of gameplay melting everything on the screen with zero effort?”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is the worst thing a reverse bullet hell can be: a bore... or unbeatable.”
“But then the actual gameplay parts feel like a chore, especially during the last third of a run.”

The game's story is generally considered interesting, featuring engaging mini-stories and character development, though many players feel the dialogue, particularly in the English version, lacks polish. While the narrative offers depth beyond mere filler, the overall execution, including translation issues and unclear mechanics, detracts from the experience. Players appreciate the variety of story elements and character unlocks, but agree that the writing could benefit from refinement.
“Every event is basically a mini story that seems to be stories from another world; some are connected, some are not, and some events unlock new characters at the tavern, and I enjoyed reading all of them.”
“I appreciated that it had more than just fluff filler story writing for each character.”
“It also has a story element to it which I find interesting, but it still needs some polish.”
“It has weird town building mechanics for some reason (I instantly maxed out most of it? Not sure why it's there other than to eat your meta progression currency), an insane amount of poorly translated and poorly explained mechanics/stats, incredibly small maps with very short timers per level, apparently some story is going on but I can't follow it, and weird dialogues with bosses and other characters.”
“The game's story and world-building is decent.”
“Apparently some story is going on but I can't follow it, and weird dialogues with bosses and other characters.”
